Craniosacral cradle system and method

Abstract

A formed therapeutic tool has a base in a generally heart-shaped configuration with a narrow arcuate front, a wide rear, tapering sides, and a concave bottom. A rearward support is formed of two similarly configured projections. The projections are laterally spaced. Each projection has a linear high point and a semicircular surface. The tool has a forward support formed of two similarly configured inclines. Each incline has an arcuate high point adjacent to one of the projections and an arcuate low point adjacent to the front. A ovoid shaped central recess extends downwardly between the inclines and the projections. The central recess terminates in an ovoid shaped floor with a lower surface constituting a portion of the concave bottom of the base. The tool having a Durometer of from 36 to 45 on a Shore A scale and an Indentation Force Deflection of from 8 to 9.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present patent application is a continuation-in-part of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 489,550 filed Jun. 6, 2012 which is a continuation-in-part of now abandoned U.S. patent application Ser.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved craniosacral cradle system and method which has all of the advantages of the prior art cranial / sacral support systems of known designs and configurations and none of the disadvantages. It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved craniosacral cradle system which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

[0018]It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved craniosacral cradle system which is of durable and reliable constructions.

[0019]An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved craniosacral cradle system which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such craniosacral cradle system economically available to the buying public.

Problems solved by technology

While the prior art devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, they do not describe a craniosacral cradle system and method that allows supporting a supine patient selectively at the patient's head, neck, shoulders, body and sacrum during rest and during craniosacral, massage, and manual therapy, the supporting being done in a safe, effective and economical manner.
